Losses are necessary. This is the highest level of the sport in the world, every team is capable of beating every team. A blowout in week 3 is something that this team can benefit from tremendously in Week 13.

 

Looking at film from a day like this will prevent all sorts of mistakes for the future because we DO have a great coaching staff. I have big time confidence in the mistakes that RR, McDermott, Proehl, Jim Skipper, Ken Dorsey, Eric Washington, and others will be able to correct because of this game.

Offensively, our coaches are not very good outside of Ricky Proehl (who is getting the most out of Benji and random other cast-offs). That's what is worrying.

The defense is fine and will be fine. Coming across a running back tandem that looked like Marcus Allen and Jerome Bettis on their own out there is rare, and something we can fix.

Being vanilla on offense and trying to do the same thing over and over wont change. How do I know? It has been the same since Chud left and Shula took over. He has no idea how to adapt or change the offense. He's the lead weight dragging us down.

And Matsko? Is he really bad? Really genius? I have no idea because we have The Ghost Of Ryan Kalil and four back-ups starting for us on the offensive line. How Cam hasn't died on tw field yet, I have no idea.

This game don't hurt me much, our fans reaction does. Seems we don't have much trust to our team after this loss while many think we could lock a playoff spot after 2:0.

We need to be realistic about this game. Hope for the good and prepare for the bad.

I have faith in our team, other wise, why do we need " keep pounding"?!

not worried about the loss at all.  worried about the swiss cheese o-line.  almost think it'd be better to sit cam for a couple weeks and bring in DA.  DA is quicker at making reads and with cam hurt he can't rely on his natural ability to get outside.  cam is playing great football for what he has to work with and not being 100, but is it worth it to get him destroyed this early when we have a very competent backup?

Minus the wes horton encroachment and the muffed punt  we would've been right in this game. A game were we were making a bunch of mistakes, lets not lose all hope.

 

yeah, this was a mental loss, now we will see how good the team really is, by a come back with a big win in Baltimore.

Very competent is being a little generous.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
